The correct answer is option B, that is, it presents the correct sequence of events in Earth’s history.

The geological time scale signifies towards a framework of chronological dating that relates geological strata with time. It is used by geologists, paleontologists, and other scientists of the Earth to illustrate the relations and timings of incidents that have taken place during Earth's history.

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

<u>A geological time scale is the sequence of events that have taken place in the past since the formation of the earth</u>. These events have formed due to the various geological process that has undergone in the past and are grouped in different zones. These show how the landscape formed and when the organisms started to appear and how the evolutionary process has taken place.

These events are grouped into three eons namely,  

1) Hadean  

2) Archaean  

3) Proterozoic

4) Phanerozoic- It is again divided into three parts. They are-

        (a) Paleozoic

        (b) Mesozoic

        (c) Cenozoic

These geological time scales play an important role in understanding the existence of different phases on earth and also it helps in identifying which age a rock belongs. It is very frequently used by geologists to determine the past activities.

Thus, the correct answer is Option (B).

ad-work [718]

Answer:

The complete set of an organism's or population's genes. B. genome

A variation at a single position in a DNA sequence among individuals of the same species. F. single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)

A lab instrument used to precisely measure and move small amounts of liquid. E. micropipette

A procedure that makes thousands of copies from a small sample of DNA. J. polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

A word that means to copy. I. amplify

An enzyme that copies a single strand of DNA. A. DNA polymerase  

A single, short piece of DNA that must be present to copy a DNA template. D. primer  

Viruses that infect bacteria. C. bacteriophages  

Short enzymes that cut DNA samples at a specific base sequence. H. restriction endonucleases (restriction enzymes).

A process that separates pieces of DNA by their size using an electrical current. K. gel electrophoresis

A series of chemical reactions that generate a cellular response. L. signal transduction

A molecule that binds to another molecule. G. ligand  

Explanation:

Genome is also defined as a full set of genetic material in an organism.

SNP is usually referred to a substitution of a single nucleotide at a specific position in the DNA.

Micropipette is used for the precise measurement and for the exact amount of liquid delivery.

PCR is a widely used technique in molecular biology, used for the amplification (replication) of DNA fragments. It is performed thanks to heat-resistant enzyme (Taq polymerase) through the cyclic reactions. Polymerases are enzymes that add nucleotides in order to make chanis-polymers of nucleic acid (polymerization) and they require short DNA segment (primer) in order to start the polymerization. Restriction enzymes are enzymes that recognize and cut DNA at specific site (restriction site) and are widely used in DNA cloning.

Signal transduction is a set of steps from signal binding to cell response that are transmitted through the cell. It usually starts with ligand-receptor binding.

vitfil [10]

Answer: 6ft

Explanation:

Perimeter is just adding the side lengths together so...

31-15-10=x

6=x

so the answer is 6 ft
